SID17: When There’s Nothing Left To Do But Party
Published

That’s a Wrap! Sydney Indesign 2017 is done and dusted – but we don’t need to tell you that, you were there. Pics or it didn’t happen? Don’t worry, there are plenty
A year between each Indesign: The Event and for many it seems to roll around effortlessly and perhaps unexpectedly. But for the exhibitors, sponsors, speakers, collaborators – and of course organisers! – it takes that year to organise those two days down to a tee.
Every year we throw a party to wrap the event, but this year, hosted by CAKE wines with Sample Brew as a beverage partner, and sponsored by Flokk, Denovo Recruitment and JEB, felt extra special. To ensure a memorable evening, a photobooth – with an assortment of ridiculous props – was in hot demand all evening, thanks to Flokk. And to ease your transition to the next morning, JEB put together a special ‘hangover kit’, that was even distributed by a nurse… sort of.
It’s a wonderful weekend of excited, if chaotic, energy for all parties: two big days of networking, exploring, discovering and researching. So when it’s all done and dusted, nothing feels better – or feels better deserved – than a huge party where the drinks are free-flowing and the tunes are blasting.
